LARBERT OLD PARISH CHURCHYARD

Geoff B Bailey

The churchyard at Larbert is one of the largest in the Falkirk district, having been extended several times in the 18th and 19th centuries. In its latter form it

was dominated by the presence of the Carron Company, which was one of the major factors in the massive increase in the population of the parish and which contributed greatly to its wealth. This is reflected in the lavishness and variety

of the later monuments and in the extensive use of iron for grave markers and for plot boundaries. Amongst the latter are some of the oldest cast iron railings

in the world.

This large scale and richness is in

marked contrast to the church’s humble beginnings. By 1160 there was a

subordinate chapel of the Church of St Ninians (Stirling) at Larbert and in that year they were gifted by the Bishop of

St Andrews to the Abbey of Cambuskenneth, along with a similar

chapel at Dunipace. After the Reformation, in the 16th century, one reader served both Larbert and

Dunipace, though Dunipace had more people. Around 1585 Larbert was

erected into a separate parish, but in 1617 was re-united with Dunipace by Parliamentary Commission – evidently

there were too few people in the parish to sustain a separate charge. Over the next few years Larbert Church got caught up in national politics. King James VI

exiled Reverend Robert Bruce of Kinnaird to Inverness, and subsequently allowed him back to his home parish. Bruce naturally started to preach from the

pulpit of the old semi-deserted church, fulfilling the roll of minister for the parish despite the lack of any stipend. It is said that he attracted very large audiences with attendees from all over central Scotland. Around 1624 he paid to have the

decaying church building demolished and a modest new one constructed in its place. It stood in the northern part of the contemporary churchyard and its

location can still be made out on the ground (A on illus 1). When Robert Bruce died in 1631 he was buried under the pulpit and his grave is well marked. Being a Presbyterian church we might expect the pulpit to occupy a position near to

the centre of the north wall. From his grave a narrow low mound can be seen heading westwards almost as far as the present path – this is the line of the

north wall. To the south-east of his grave the stone walls of the east end of the church survive to their original height. Here the south and north walls of the Dundas Tomb (3 on illus 1) re-use those of the church. Both contain blocked up

windows and the 17th century moulded eaves course remains. In the east wall is the wide public entrance formed in 1663 by Sir Robert Elphinstone of Quarrel –

the lintel still bears the date and his initials. This end of the church is narrower than the main body and presumably contained a loft in the roof space for that noble family. Just beyond the N/S path already referred to lie the table tombs of

the early ministers (nos. 719-721), taking their traditional place outside the west door. The path presumably marks the position of the west wall. An 18th century

map shows that there was also an aisle on the south side (RHP 1497A).

The precise size and shape of the early

churchyard cannot be discerned, but the area outlined as (B) on illus 1 gives a good

approximation. The earliest gravestones that appear to be in situ date to the 1630s and lie to the south of the church just delineated, as we

might expect. These markers are small with rounded tops (for example nos. 98, 100 and

150) and have crude depictions of skulls and bones in low relief. Presumably another formerly stood beside the entrance and is

referred to as the ‘Deil’s Stane;’ “so called from its having borne those foul images of mortality,

the skull and cross-bones” (Nimmo 1880).

Some of the plain recumbent stones may be

earlier, but the earliest dated one is from 1680 (no. 181). Many of these flat stones lie under

the present W/E path, which may be significant. The entrance to the graveyard was from the village to the east and seems to have been more or less on the site of the current entrance, directly in line with

the east door of the old church. The western boundary is marked by the large wall tomb dated 1717 (no. 239), which also bears a skull and cross bones.

In the mid 18th century, around 1750, the sides of this irregular enclosure were

straightened out, allowing more ground to be incorporated, particularly to the north. Plots on the periphery were allocated to the landed

families of the parish – Glenbervie (nos. 140-145);

Carronvale (nos. 689-691). To the north was the old manse of 1635 and to the east was the

parish school and the houses of the village. The main road

southwards probably ran through these houses and on to the Low Town and the crossing

of the River Carron.

compartment. Behind it, on the right, is the old manse.

The 1760s and 1770s saw a massive increase in the number of people living in the parish and demand for lairs rose. Sometime in the early 1780s it appears

that the kirkyard was doubled in size by a large extension to the west. The lines of the north and south sides of the extension were projected from those of the

older churchyard, meaning that the east side was 42m long, but the west side only 30m. From east to west it was 64m long, with the westernmost 15m primarily used for Carron Company employees. In 1790 the north-west corner

was reserved for the Company’s management and marked by march stones.

In December 1782 James Bruce of Kinnaird acquired the land to the south of the churchyard along its eastern half for use as a family plot. He enclosed this by a substantial wall. On the north this acted as a retaining wall capped by triangular

copestones. The Glenbervie enclosure must have already been in place and so the entrance from the churchyard lay immediately to its east. This was flanked

by stout short stone piers and contained a flight of steps. A cast iron obelisk in memory of his wife was placed on a stone plinth opposite this entrance. Monument, stairs and the pulpit of the church (the burial place of James Bruce’s

great grandfather) were all in line. The gate pier on the east took a graceful Dutch curve down to the top of the retaining wall and this method of reducing

the height of the wall was also used in the south. The west and east walls of the enclosure were about 6ft tall. These returned around the south side, but after about 10m curved down to a low wall topped with cast and wrought iron railings.

This let light flood into the enclosure. It also provided views – outwards across the Carron Valley, and inwards to the brilliantly painted obelisk so that it could

be seen by approaching travellers from the south. The obelisk was a marvel of technology (Bailey 2013).

In 1790 a manse was built to replace that of 1635. The new building was placed to the south of the Bruce of Kinnaird Enclosure, towards the east end, obscuring

the view so carefully created. Gardens and orchards for the minister were laid out to the west of the manse. These included a walled garden, open to the

south, terraced into the hill. A large addition was made to the manse in 1828.

David Hamilton, architect, was asked to advise the congregation at Larbert on

ways of improving the church building. In 1818 he suggested that a new church should be built rather

than rebuilding or enlarging the old one which was surrounded by burials. The Heritors agreed. The

following year the field next to the kirkyard was purchased for £105 and the contract for a new church awarded to Muir and Wright, builders, for

£3,300 and the stone from the old church. The new design was by Hamilton and has been described as

common Tudor or perpendicular Gothic style. It opened in 1821, having cost £4,432.

it, and that of Robert Bruce in the foreground.

Gillespie, in the third edition of Nimmo’s History of

Stirlingshire, describes the atmosphere that pervaded the local society at this time with regard

to the so-called Resurrectionists. “The intense and wide-spread excitement

which prevailed in the earlier part of the present century from the cruel trade of body-snatching, must be fresh in the memory of many still alive. In grave

spoliation for purposes of dissection, only one "subject" was known to have been taken from the Larbert burial ground. It was that of a girl named Moir, whose corpse was lifted shortly after interment. But the young "Athenians" were not

allowed to carry her far. On their route to Edinburgh, they had, for the night, to conceal the body in a dung-heap at Polmont; and the proprietor’s carts

proceeded in the morning for a portion of the manure, the diabolical theft was opportunely detected. Nor did the upturning of the corpse create any great surprise. Its presence, at least, was no matter of prolonged bewilderment. The

student enterprise was caught at a glance. Night again came, and watch was laid for the return of the "burglars"; and, just as had been anticipated, forward

drove the Surgeon Square party for the body. No sooner, however, had they left with their charge, than Mr. Scott, of Gilston, rode smartly on in front of them; and, by the time they reached Linlithgow, the whole strength of the town was

turned out for their defeat. Rough, indeed, was the usage they received. Not only was the corpse most unceremoniously taken from the conveyance, but the

machine itself was drawn to the roadside and broken to fragments. The body of the young woman was afterwards brought back to Larbert and reinterred. For some months after this, the watch-house – still standing in the churchyard – was

regularly occupied. Latterly, however, burial ground watching became a mere farce.

A curious class of friendly societies arose out of the resurrectionist panic which

thus set in, about 1829, on the detection of Burke and Hare. They were called mortcloth and safe societies. The mortsafe was a heavy metal case, or a

wooden-house with a stone, which was put over the coffin of the dead for some weeks after interment, and watched by a party of members, to all of whom both mortcloth and safe were free; but, at the same time, were let out on a charge to

non-members.”

The watch-house referred to seems to have stood inside the graveyard at the north-east corner of the walled garden, providing good views across the area.

In 1852 the Kirk Session produced a register of lairs and demanded that anyone that claimed possession of one should produce appropriate evidence, otherwise

the lair would be taken back into the ownership of the church (Falkirk Herald 7 October 1852). This was normal practice, but it seems to have been continued at Larbert for longer than elsewhere in the area.

Around 1855 the graveyard was extended to the south, wrapping it around the

walled garden. The existing terrace at this point was accentuated and steps were provided. These formed the focus for the early burials in the extension. One of the grandest of the monuments here is that of the Sherriff and Bell

families and is surrounded by an oval enclosure formed from a neatly moulded low stone wall topped with an ornate cast iron railing. It is centred on the path

leading from the terrace steps. In general this low lying ground does not seem to have gained favour and contains few grave markers. The soil is more clayey than the sandy ridge and therefore damp.

Another extension came in 1874. A wooded strip 22m wide along the north side

was incorporated. A tall wall was built along the road frontage to maintain the quiet atmosphere of the burial ground and a gateway placed in its centre with

elaborate iron gates. The inside face of this wall was highly sought after and here can be found the monuments to the wealthy industrialists and merchants of the high Victorian period in Larbert. The opportunity was also snatched to

extend the Carron Enclosure to the west and to construct a private mausoleum for the Dawson family.

In 1898 the kirk’s ownership of the burial plots was again emphasised. At the beginning of the year the session clerk seems to have made a mistake in

assigning the wrong plot for a new internment. When the grave was dug the bones in the plot were dug out and flung to one side in the belief that they were

of some age. In fact they belonged to the children of William Inglis, a moulder, and had been placed there in 1886. The grave digger pointed out that even such recent bones would have completely decayed in the ground and that he

had not noticed them. The kirk actively resisted a claim for 10s 6d for damages, arguing that it had the right to place bodies wherever it chose (Falkirk Herald 22

Jan1898 & 9 Feb1898).

The public’s distaste for disturbing the last resting place of the mortal remains of families was growing. At the beginning of the 20th century the graveyard was

formally closed (the final closing order being passed in 1904) and only those families with spaces in the existing lairs were permitted to continue with

interments. George Binnie, the manager of the Falkirk Iron Co, had a family plot at the churchyard in his name (No. 1035), but when he died in 1904 he was buried in Falkirk Cemetery. Similarly when Alexander Cuthell died in 1917 he

was not buried with his brother and parents, but in the new Larbert Cemetery. In 1933 a row of dwelling houses and the sextant’s tool shed adjoining the

western boundary of the old manse were demolished and extra lairs squeezed in for the Jones family. These were to be the last. A new tool shed was provided behind the Carronvale enclosure and its blocked up doorway can still be seen.

Nowadays the maintenance squads bring their own equipment on the back of a lorry.

Cast Iron

By the end of the eighteenth century cast iron was used to cheaply reproduce repetitive decorative detail. Its use for grave markers was an obvious step,

though when it came it did so as large pieces of individual one-off monuments that were a tribute to the engineering skills of the manufacturers – and therefore a

source of wonderment to one and all!

In 1954 the Royal Commission on Historic Monuments Scotland noted three cast iron obelisks in the graveyard. Unfortunately

time has not been kind to them in the half century since. The oldest, from 1785, was

the most important and was commissioned by James Bruce the Abyssinian Traveller. It was designed by William Haworth and

constructed at Carron Iron Works (Bailey 2013). It now stands ignominiously in the

car park, amputated from its stone plinth and enclosure.

The second obelisk dated from 1827 and was erected to the memory of Captain John

Paterson. It was there in 1969 when the Mitchells did their survey (M & M 704), but

no trace of it now remains. The site is against the north wall and is marked only by the stone sills on which the iron monument

stood inside an ornately railed enclosure (beside no. 670). Its size made it unusual

enough to be reported in the newspapers: “IRON MAUSOLEUM – On Saturday a great

Page 8: Larbert Old Parish Churchyard - WordPress.com

Larbert Old Parish Churchyard

Falkirk Local History Society Page 8

number of persons were attracted to the yard of the Shots Iron Foundry, at the back of the Canongate, for the purpose of viewing a splendid mausoleum which

had been cast there. It is about eight and a half feet square and ten feet high, surmounted by an obelisk, the whole height being thirty feet. The sides of the

squares are panelled and adorned with pilasters; a large cornice runs round it about nine feet from the ground; above the cornice is an ornamental part, four feet high, which serves as a base to the obelisk, at the corners of which is an

urn, each placed upon a pedestal set in an angular direction. On what will form the front, when placed in its intended situation in Larbert Churchyard, is an

inscription in raised letters, cast with the panel on which it appears, and which are exceedingly well formed. Above the inscription is the date of erection in large characters, and higher up in Greek, the following words from Homer, in

allusion to the materials of the tomb:-- “KUIMHΣATO XALKEON YΠNON,” “he sleeped an iron sleep.” It is the first sepulchral monument of a large size, we

believe, which has been executed in metal in this country... The design, which is very appropriate and elegant, we understand was furnished by Mr Raeburn, architect in this city. The castings are remarkably smooth, and the joints though

all in solid metal, are quite invisible. The entire weight does not exceed eight tons and a half, and the price will be moderate. It is to the memory of Captain

Paterson of the East India Company’s Service and his family, whose names are recorded in the inscription, and has been erected by that gentleman’s executor, Captain Barrower. From money left for that purpose.” (Edinburgh Advertiser

September 1827). The Royal Commission observed that it could be entered by a door in its east side and that the squat obelisk was founded upon four low

arches. The Greek inscription should be read “He slept the brazen sleep,” or the sleep of death (RCAHMS 1961, 158).

The third obelisk is structurally unsound and has been fenced off and the urn top is missing. It commemorates George Smith, who died in 1833 (no. 806). In

form it is very similar to the stone obelisks in the churchyard. It stands on a stone base and the plinth contains a granite panel on each face (that on the south is missing), one of which carries the inscription.

The obelisks are the earliest of the cast iron memorials. Slowly a more practical form emerged, making the most of replication, but with a conservative edge.

They combined the advantages of stone and cast iron. There are numerous composite markers in Larbert Churchyard. Many of the upright gravestones

have cast iron finials in the shape of vases/urns, caskets or spheres attached by dowels (for example nos. 46, 347, 429, 430, 616). Conversely, iron frames contain stone plaques. This was a good compromise allowing additional

inscriptions to be economically added over the years. The framed variety was in vogue around 1852-1898, as can be seen from the dates on them.

figure on the plinth is only about 3ins high.

The more normal form of cast iron marker, consisting of a plaque set into the ground on two legs, is only found in very small numbers.

Within the survey area there was only one (no. 979) and it did not have an inscription.

Another can be found in the later northern extension.

There are also a couple of examples of clay markers. No. 510 is a good example. It is of

yellow clay similar to that used for statues, garden features and chimney cans at the

Grangemouth Coal Company’s works near Skinflats. The fine clay face allowed the latter part of the inscription to be added by carving. Illus: A clay marker, No. 510, with finial.

Carron Company

The most conspicuous presence of the Carron Company is the Carron Enclosure at the western end of the churchyard. Here the managers from 1759-1873, William Cadell junior to William Dawson, are buried. This richly embellished plot

is dealt with elsewhere. Although the brothers Joseph, William and Thomas Dawson – all of whom had a hand in the top management - are buried in the

Page 10: Larbert Old Parish Churchyard - WordPress.com

Carron Enclosure, their brother John is in the main churchyard (no. 877). He had been in charge of the pig iron section and was the clerk for the Carron

Victualling Society. He died at Mount Carron in 1879.

The skilled engineers and designers of the late eighteenth century works were proud to boast of their connection with the works. Thus we have William Haworth, designer (no. 1054a); George Burgess, master millwright and joiner

(no. 23); John Kerr, designer (no. 1054a); and John Smith, patternmaker (no. 395).

Alexander Turnbull (no. 434) was employed at the Carron Iron Works for 71 years! He died at the age of 80 and must have started work at 9. William Adam

(no. 820) was “for nearly 60 years in the service of Carron Company” and died in 1879 aged 73. Not everyone was so lucky and some had their lives cut short.

James Walker (no. 500) and two of his sons, David and James, “lost their lives at Carron Works 8th December 1839.” This incident was reported in the Edinburgh newspapers (Watters 2010, 380). It was a Sunday and about mid-

day there was a great explosion of molten metal from the furnace. Six men died. According to his gravestone Martin Dow (No. 885) was “killed at Carron

22nd Sep 1882.” This was indeed the Carron Works and the 23 year old was sitting on the buffer of an empty wagon reading a letter that his brother had written to his father, who was in the 42nd Highlanders in Egypt, when an engine

brought in more empty wagons. Martin was crushed (Falkirk Herald 23 September 1882).

Walter Bain was born in Larbert in 1790 and entered Carron Company’s mercantile fleet in 1802, first aboard the Apollo and then the Melampus. He was

press-ganged into the Royal Navy in 1810, serving on HMS Duncan until 1814. He re-entered Carron Company’s service in 1816 on the Proserpine, for 23 years

as Mate and 13 years as Master. He married Mary Gentles in 1815 (No. 953). His grandson was George Forrest the celebrated explorer and botanist. His son

was James Gentles Bain, mentioned on the same stone. JG Bain was Master of SS Carron, then SS Derwent and a different SS Carron. John Nicol lived in Carronshore and was master of the Penelope in the 1850s (No. 232). John

Smith (No. 129) died at West Carron in 1851, which at that time was largely occupied by employees of the Company. He is presumably the same John Smith

who was Master of the Carron Company smack Penelope in 1845 (information on these Carron shipping employees from Brian Watters).

Drowning

The proximity of bodies of water such as the River Carron and the Carron Dams tempted many, particularly but not exclusively youngsters, to swim on hot summers’ days or to skate on the winter ice. All of these losses were

devastating to their families. Particularly poignant is the inscription to John Walker (No. 707) who was drowned in the river on 26th November 1841 in full

sight of his friends. He was a fit young man of 25 years. “BY A FEW FRIENDS AS A TOKEN/ OF RESPECT, THE FOLLOWING/ LINES ARE INSCRIBED, DROP ON

Page 11: Larbert Old Parish Churchyard - WordPress.com

Falkirk Local History Society Page 11

THIS MOUND A SYMPATHIZING TEAR, A MARTYR TO HUMANITY LIES HERE. HE TRIED HIS BEST ANOTHER’S LIFE TO SAVE, FAILED IN THE ATTEMPT AND MET

AN EARLY GRAVE.” Earlier James Wright (562) had drowned in the River Carron on 23rd February 1822 aged 28 years and his monument was also “Erected by a

few Friends as a Token of Respect.” William Bachop (No. 841) drowned at Carron on 11th November 1862, aged 17 years. James McLaren was “accidentally drowned” on 9th January 1878, aged 32. Even a shipmaster, Adam

Stark (No. 395), foundered in the Carron on 12th October 1841, aged 39 years. In the case of Robert Bowie who drowned in the River Carron just to the south of

the churchyard the cause was put down to the fact that he had been drinking (Falkirk Herald 17 August 1898). He was 34 years old.

The parish produced many sailors and it is not surprising to see that some of these failed to return, their exact dates of death during the voyage uncertain.

John Scobie was lost at sea “about December 1866” (No.284). His brother William was also lost at sea in command of the ship “John Kerr” of Greenock “about September 1879”. Walter Kerr was a shipmaster at the age of 27 when

he went missing in 1825 (No. 1055). William Sutherland was on the Theresa when he drowned (No.59). Perhaps the best known of the gravestones

connected with the sea is near the entrance to the churchyard (No. 67) and boasts a wonderful carving of the Prince Ferdinand. This commemorates James Muir “who lost his life (with another of the hands) at Hispaniola in Mounta

Christa River (going over the Barr for fresh water) out of the long boat.” This is on the northern coast of the island, which is west of Cuba.

Ships are also depicted on No. 200, which dates to 1767 and shows a topsail schooner of the type that would have made the journey from Carron to London.

Presumably Robert Towers was its captain. Peter Webster was a captain (No. 802), as was Alexander Masterton - but the details on his gravestone have been

lost (no. 803). On the other hand the gravestone of Walter Bain, mentioned in the previous section, makes no mention of his connection with the sea. Another

schooner is shown on No. 534 belonging to George Calder, 1815.

Passengers too went down with their ships – Robert Nicol on passage to New

Zealand in the 1870s (No. 960). Robert Borland and his son, William, were drowned “at Sierra Leone coast of Africa” (No. 897), but it is not clear if they

were passengers or crew. William Higgen was 55 years old when he was lost at sea (No. 886), which might suggest that he was a passenger. Alexander Wilson was sailing back from Australia in the Royal Charter when his ship went down off

the Welsh coast (No. 643) in 1859.

The 1874 extension continues this grim theme. One man drowned on the Barrier Reef off Australia. And one young girl drowned in the Carron Dams. In

November 1862 four men employed by the Carron Company drowned in the Carron Dams whilst ice skating. James Hogg was a bricklayer aged 17years; John Fleming a dresser of 19; William Bauchop, moulder, 18; and Peter Lorn

also a moulder, aged 17. Fleming had been a member of the Carron Volunteers and was buried in Larbert Churchyard with military honours (Falkirk Herald 20

November 1862). Four years later James Kelly was accompanied to the family lair by a large procession of the Artillery Corps (ibid 1 Feb 1866).

Trades

Few trades are given in the inscriptions, and these tend to be from the skilled

professions. We have a smith in Stenhousemuir (26), a merchant with the Honourable East India Company (119), farmer (138 & 650), gardener (140),

antiquary in Airdrie (184), railway worker (396), merchant (131 & 240), ironfounder (489), baker (48 & 612), engineer (348), Inspector of the Poor (669

& 774), blacksmith (819), schoolmaster (698), surgeon (1002), student of medicine (69) and photographer (702). To these we can add older artisans from the trade symbols. A mason (89), a farrier (117), a farrier dated 1740 (177), a

Several of these are buried in close proximity to one another, as acknowledged

on a piece of doggerel on Taylor’s table stone: “In this and other Graves hard by/ The Bodies of three Pastors lye/ Where lips did saving Knowledge teach/ By Gospel truths they did Preach/ These truths obey & you will wise/ Like them to

dwell above the skies.”

It is not surprising to see John Bonar absent; he walked out at the Disruption in 1843. It is presumably this event that is referred to on No. 568 to Charles Grieg - “whose honest consistent piety of his old age kept in mind the

riotousness of his early manhood, and condemned it. He shared in the revived spiritual life of 1843, and all that knew him admitted that it was so.”

In 1680 two silver communion cups were donated to the church by Sir Robert Elphinstoun of Quarrel’s younger brother, John. This was such a significant

event at that time that it was recorded on his gravestone; they are still in the possession of the church.

Poetry and Prose

By the late Victorian period it was common to add the odd commemorative

phrase at the bottom of the stone, often taken from the bible, but not infrequently taken from popular texts of the time. These will be found littered amongst the transcriptions laid out below. Here it is only necessary to pick out

two of my favourites from the earlier stones. The first dates to 1803 and reads “Study not so much to live long, as to live well by virtuous perseverance while

on earth you dwell.” (No. 836). The second is slightly earlier, from 1795 (No. 999), and states “Thro life what care and ills molest/ Alternate rounds of joy and fear/ The weary wanderer hopes for rest/ And seeks it there but finds it here.” The most quoted inscription from the churchyard can be found on the north wall

of the old churchyard (No. 618). It seems to date to 1635 and may thus have been inserted in the original manse wall: “Here lyes interred within his urne

The corps of honest good John Burne Who was the eight John of that name

That livd with love and died wt fame In changing tymes sadest disaster Trew to his King Lord and Master

Kynd to his kenered neighbur frend Whos good lyfe hade ane happie end

His soul to God he did bequeath His dust to lye this stone beneath”

The term Honest is found elsewhere in the churchyard and is not a euphemism for something best not said. It is found, for example on the grave of a gardener

(No. 140), erected by his grateful “master” (a sign of the old feudal ties). “Here lie the Relicks of an Honest Man, a Nathaniel in Whom Was Neithe Guile nor Gall, a Diligent and Faithful Servant, Warmly attached to his Master and his interest,

John Gibson, Gardener to Sir James Dunbar of Mochrum Who died on the 12th of/ October 1771, in the 20th Year of his Service And 58th of his Age. In regard to

his Memory his Master Here deposited his Body With this inscription.”

The Gravestones

A large number of the gravestones have the remnants of a surface wash of

paint, usually beige or cream in colour. Some also have traces of red or black in the cut letters. These indications suggest that it was once common to paint the stones and that at the end of the 18th century the graveyard was a far more

colourful place.

There is also plenty of evidence for the re-use of headstones. Often this is suggestive, such as the names on one side of a stone bearing absolutely no

relationship with those on the other. More conclusive are the many occasions were one of these sets of inscriptions has been filled in with white lime putty

(and then presumably the whole face painted over – examples include Nos. 368, 370, 571, 866, 975). There are also a number of stones were the traces of an

underlying inscription can still be seen under the main one (Nos. 81, 351, 885, 1023). In most cases we might expect the original lettering to have been

completely removed by cutting back the face. No. 307 re-used the leg of a table tomb. It was normal practice for the church to raise money by periodically putting the lairs up for sale, or rather for lease. Any family not re-purchasing

their lairs forfeited not only the right to future burials, but also the risk that someone else might remove those already present in order to put in their own

family members. At the end of the 19th century the Larbert sextant reckoned that bodies would not last ten years in the ground – bones and all. Removing stones from graves were the owner had lost the right of possession was a

natural consequence and it therefore made sense to re-use them.

Around about 1790 the local sandstones were augmented by a fine-grained pinkish sandstone with prominent bedding plains. This is a phenomenon seen in other graveyards in the area and was probably made possible by the canal

network. The texture of the stone made it easy to get well-formed lettering. Unfortunately, because the headstones are placed with the bedding plains in a

vertical position with their ends exposed on the top edge there is a high degree of lamination, exacerbated by the physical damage caused by modern grass cutting machinery. By the mid 19th century pink and grey granites had been

introduced from Aberdeenshire and Dumfriesshire, transported by rail. These were always expensive and their use at Larbert is limited.

INVENTORY OF GRAVESTONES

The churchyard was surveyed in July 1969 by Mitchell and Mitchell as part of their national record of monumental inscriptions. The reference number used in

their publication on East Stirlingshire is given at the end of each entry in the following format - M & M 99. In some cases a stone recorded by them has since fallen or been removed and the information from 1969 is used here as the

primary record. It is noticeable that these tend to lie adjacent to the main path.

Dundas Enclosure:

Stones 1 and 2 below are flat stones, which would have floored the aisle. They must have been placed in the north wall after the construction of the new church

in 1821.

Index of Names.

There are a number of surnames that appear to be very similar and it is possible that differences are merely due to scribal or mason’s errors. Whenever there is a doubt the name has been left in its original form. The same is true of Christian

names - but if there is more than one version, these have been amalgamated – Elisabeth and Elizabeth is an example of this.
